Oslo Vestbanestasjon or Oslo V was the terminal railway station of Drammenbanen between 1872 and 1989. After the construction of the Oslo Tunnel the station became disused and replaced by Oslo Central Station (Oslo S). Until its closure it was the main station for trains on Sørlandsbanen, Drammenbanen and Vestfoldbanen. There was no passenger rail connection to Oslo Ø, the eastern station that served the eastern lines and trains to Bergen. The only connection was Havnebanen that went partially through some of the most trafficked streets in Oslo.

The station building was drawn by architect Georg Andreas Bull in historism and built in tilestone. The fased against Rådhusplassen has two low towers diagonally against the buildings main direction. Windows and doors are arched. After the station closed, the building has been taken into use by among others the Nobel Peace Centre.
